Elysium Hotel Paphos, Cyprus

The hotel is well designed, the rooms are spacious and clean, the breakfast is wonderful and the staff are just so welcoming and kind. We had such a great time, no doubt we will book this hotel again, on our next vacation to Paphos.

The hotel is amazing. The dinner was good but not enough dishes for my opinion. The hotel is super clean, the staff is amazing. The pool temperature is good.

There was construction which made noises during the day.

Staff are excellent and nothing is a problem for them. Breakfast was very good with a full selection of food

Food in the Bracco restaurant was not as good as in the past

Everything was fantastic.

The only regret I have that I stayed 3 night only. The hotel is excellent by any means.

I can't think of anything

Everything!

Excellent.

Would’ve liked a walk in shower

Hotel- 10 Points, Staff - 11 Points ... thanks and see you again

Our room was considered one of the best in the hotel and id probably stay in the same room again, on the third floor 3230 facing the sea and partial pool. The facilities are good and the room very clean, although id say quite dated, the bathroom has old style shower and probably could use a facelift. The mattress was ok, but started to cave on the side closest to the balcony doors. There is a Nesspresso machine and capsules are provided. The AC worked well to cool the room. There is private free parking at lobby level and also under ground near security. I suggest to clean out the underground parking, a bit of paint and a couple of plants would go a long way as is not reflective of the property and more like 2*. Breakfast was standard. There is a footpath right in front of the hotel that leads to the lighthouse, castle and fort. Many people use it to exercise. Thanks to Thanasis from concierge who spent lots of time to guide us with all the facilities.

I read in the reviews that there were renovations and was concerned so i called the hotel and assured that the noise would not affect our stay. One could hear the noise BUT, was only when the patio doors were open.The pool was in the process of being reopened but at 15C id rather swim in the sea at 18C. However the sea was also closed with a red flag due to high winds. Even if open it’s not a beach. It’s rocky and not so accessible. Part of it on the left has bulldozed earth (with rubbish), so not sure if this is also being renovated ??!! There is also an indoor heated pool, but we did not use it as is very chlorinated and the smell was overwhelming. A fridge that you can’t put anything in as there is a notice that its only for hotel provided drinks. I could understand if it limits you to put in food. The nearest ironing room was a floor above :-( but the hotel made an effort to bring an ironing board to the room. The iron worked fine but the board collapsed a few times. In short this hotel can make so many small improvements that can elevate the services, which is an expectation from a 5* property. A call from guest services, or a note in the room to ask how is our stay, and if we need anything or make suggestions. Writing this review is a bit late for service recovery.

lovely stay, decent hotel & beautiful location, amazing sunsets!

Breakfast great! Room little bit small!

The service was exceptional, the staff was always happy, ready to help, the cocktail bar in the hotel was cheap compared to what level of service you get.

The indoor pool seemed crowded and a little outdated.

It was excellent, top class

Outdoor pool was out of order

Friendly staff and excellent breakfast choices.

Big and nice indoor pool, nice minty steam bath, well arranged sauna, jakuzzi.

We lost two and half hours on arrival- to get proper room with sea view, what we ordered and paid for. Poor seafood menu/availability at the main restaurant during dinner time. Stony beach with a lot of seagrass at the water-break.

Breakfast was excellent, room very clean and tidy.

Staff excellent, friendly and made us feel special Breakfast outstanding, best I've ever had in any hotel and endless choices of delicious food, both traditional and local On site restaurants, particularly Bacca were fabulous Spa facilities were great and it was good to be able to join exercise classes at no additional cost

The beautiful outdoor pool was unfortunately still being re-tiled so was out of use. Beach area in front of hotel is very rocky, but better beach within walking distance

Staff were amazing , very attentive, efficient and friendly.

Location and architecture

Overall a great value! Great facilities, clean rooms, beautiful spa.

Facilities match the 5 star rating while the service could be improved. From staff that do not speak English well enough to home keeping almost never answering the phone. Even when they do, it takes hours to actually bring coffee etc.

Comfy beds, spacious room with extra furniture. Great view from the balcony. Very convenient location - walking distance to the most interesting sights (kings tombs f.e.)

We had 2 rooms and one of them has issues with drainage. Water was standing in the sink for 10 minutes at a time. The smell of sewage in the corridor on the ground floor also slightly affected the impression of the hotel.

Breakfast and Room

Beautiful and peace…..

No

Luxurious hotel with nice relaxing spa and indoor swimming pool, spacious rooms, really comfy bed, very friendly and polite personnel eager to help

Needs some renovation, the corridors felt cold in the absence of a/c heating, the aluminum windows in the room were not sound proof and could hear the neighbors sitting at the veranda, too much chlorine in the swimming pool causing irritation to the eyes whose water felt cold

Good value for weekend or holidays leasure. We like food (restoraunts, breakfast) and spa.

- in 2 days in the underground parking lot the car was noticeably covered in bird shit, from a covered parking lot I expect that this should not happen

This was a hotel full of old world charm and hospitality and yet had all the modern comforts. The indoor heated pool was a wonderful way to end a day of sightseeing. The food was incredible…we had breakfast and dinner and the staff would always offer to make us something new. The staff were just incredible in their hospitality. We could walk to the harbour from the back of the hotel. The outside pool of many levels looked amazing though we used the indoor heated pool as it was winter. We had a great stay!

Great and luxurious, super friendly staff

Everything was perfect. Elysium is the definition of a 5-star hotel (the rate at this time of the year is value for money)

Amazing facilities, friendly staff! Excellent food! Italian restaurant is amazing! Best pasta i have ever tried!

Feels like home!!!

View was amazing Staff so friendly. Especially Marios chef for breakfast Coffee in room wow!! Lemonade was amazing on arrival Food and breakfast delicious top quality Clean and fresh rooms. Clean everwhere Cake in room was lovely Spacious hotel. Everyone friendly. Check in and out very fast Such a beautiful hotel. We visited over 20 years ago and it was even more amazing this time. Wish prices could be the same for the summer. Would love to stay again this summer Lots of parking

We loved everything!! Food was exceptional. Place is beautiful.

The staff is excellent. Friendly and welcoming. The room size is good. A selection of a la carte restaurants, including a hotel restaurant where you can have a rich buffet-style dinner. Very good breakfast. The hotel offers "night services" every day in the afternoon with a change of towels if necessary and distribution of bottles of water

There is not much space to put things in the bathroom. Water flow in the toilet was not good (at least in our room). Confusing lower parking on the first day - lack of signage on how to get into the hotel from the parking lot

Beautiful hotel. Expansive property, meticulously maintained. Phenomenal service. Comfortable spacious rooms and suites.

Breakfast arrangement

Spacious room. Large bed. Great breakfast.

Mattress could be better for a hotel like this. Room was too hot and we did not know how to control the temp.

Lovely hotel, very clean, breakfast was very tasty, staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend staying here to family and friends.

All as i mentioned above plus little things that matter: a)having a soft light in the bathroom that could leave on at night for kids b) all staff were extremely friendly

I liked everything

The staff was polite and the place was beautifully decorated for Christmas

Everything. The hotel is stunning, the rooms are so comfortable and elegant. The staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful. We had the best night sleep ever and so relaxing.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Best hotel in Cyprus. You feel relaxed and calmed after visiting this top rated hotel.

Everything was perfect, received free drinks and desserts on arrival. I especially liked the indoor pool and sauna. Definitely will come back again.

The gym and indoor pool could probably close a little later.

Exceptional hotel and stuff! Highly recommended!

Everything was perfect

All perfect

The hotel is indeed 5 stars, everything is excellent: the room, the facilities, food, restaurants. But most valuable is the staff - all of them are at exceptional level of service! Excellent service and great management. I had my birthday during my stay and the staff made my day extra special and pleasant! Thank you!

Nothing to complain about. Only as a room for improvement - the swimming pool area looked a bit outdated in terms of design, and unfortunately quite stuffy. So would be great to refresh it.

Beautiful hotel....helpful staff...

The hotel is beautifully designed, blending luxury with a serene atmosphere. Our room was impeccably clean, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped, making it comfortable for a small family. The attention to detail in the décor and amenities added an extra layer of relaxation to our stay. One of the highlights was the dining experience. The food was exceptional, offering a variety of delicious options that catered to both adults and children. The breakfast spread, in particular, was extensive and well-prepared. The hotel’s facilities were equally impressive. The pool area was pristine, and the gardens were a delight to walk through. The staff went out of their way to make our daughter feel special, which we deeply appreciated. The location is also ideal for exploring Paphos, with historical sites and the coastline nearby. However, we found ourselves so content within the hotel that we rarely wanted to leave!
